Some of the more experienced vegan food bloggers out there have been sharing some of their tips on food photography. VeganYumYum has given a great detailed primer; Hanna of BitterSweet has shared some tips on lighting from a class she recently took; and back in the spring, Katie of Don’t Eat off the Sidewalk also posted some tips.
I know that I have been guilty of taking and posting some pretty bad pictures. I have very limited space for taking pictures (I live in a less than 200 square ft studio apartment), limited light for taking pictures (two side by side windows that have a brick wall jutting out next to them.
